Applying for graduate studies in psychology and neuroscience can be challenging and confusing. Frequently, applicants have some support from mentors at their home institutions, but sometimes applicants are looking for additional reassurance, feedback, or perspectives on the processes.

Potential grad applicants: I'm hoping to take 1-2 new students this cycle!

There's no need to email me in advance unless you have specific questions that aren't answered on the lab or psych department's website - everyone's applications will be considered equally.

Alright friends - with the new academic year upon us, I plan to put in an order for more books. This year, I hope to reach 1,000 books gifted. Can you help me do that? Let me know! I wish I knew exactly how many people have donated to this effort - but I do know I'm grateful to them all!
The last 3 books for the academic year are on their way to prospective/current PhD students! This brings the total # of books provided to 828 (at least!). Many thanks to Barb Tonetti and @princetonupress.bsky.social for being wonderful partners in this endeavor. Time to buy more books!
